Reply To: In Chad Gadya – HKBH was “wrong”

People listen and I will tell you my chiddush!

The Chad Gadya is answering a GREATER kashya.

Pharoh has a “tayna” why did HKBH punish him and his nation, after all he was doing justice. There was a gezaira on Bnei Yisroel of golus for 400 years, so Pharoh was only “helping” out, by doing the Rotzon HaElyon?

To this the Chad Gadya tells this story, that although the cat deserved to be punished, the dog did not bite because he was doing justice – the Rotzon Elyon. The dog bit the cat because he is a dog and dogs bite.

Likewise, Pharoh was not the tzaddik doing justice to the Bnei Yisroel to fulfil Rotzon HaElyon. No, Pharoh bit because he is a dog and a dog bites.

And once the dog is wrong, then the sequence changes, and HKBH ends up being “right”.
